By applying controlled high pressure to the inner surface of gun and tank barrels, this process induces plastic deformation, significantly increasing their crack resistance and service life.
Strategic Manufacturing Technology
This critical technology, possessed by only a limited number of countries worldwide, enhances the resistance of barrels to higher internal pressures. By significantly increasing fatigue life and strength, it makes them suitable for long-term and intensive use.
High Pressure and Precision Control
Capable of applying pressure up to 14,000 bar to barrels ranging from 76 to 155 mm in diameter. Performs regional autofrettage using a precision control unit that ensures metallurgical compatibility through barrel-specific pressure profiles.
Full Automation and Safety
The PLC and HMI-controlled process system minimizes human error. With over 20 sensors monitoring pressure, position, and temperature, automated fault detection and maximum safety systems remain active at all times.

Önder Savunma adopts the strategic priority of nationalizing critical technologies in the defense industry and eliminating foreign dependency. We offer advanced solutions ranging from hydraulic autofrettage technology—owned by only a few companies worldwide—to modular propellant system production equipment. With the special manufacturing technologies developed for MKE Inc. facilities, we contribute to the technological autonomy of our defense industry by increasing both capacity and quality consistency.
Modern defense industry requires high-performance barrel manufacturing and precision ammunition logistics. The ability of artillery and tank barrels to withstand high pressures and maintain performance during intense firing rates is critical. Hydraulic autofrettage process increases barrel pressure resistance while doubling its service life. Our specially designed crates for the safe transport and storage of anti-tank ammunition maximize operational efficiency.
Advanced automation systems and modern electrical instrumentation ensure precise process control in production workflows. Our modular propellant system production equipment increases capacity by 60% while reducing waste by 25%. Consistent manufacturing with new-generation equipment and molds, efficient material flow through advanced piping systems, and minimized operator errors thanks to advanced automation provide both workplace safety and product quality consistency.
